'series', There was a Thread about a month ago on that. It was a paper published in Nature Magazine (iirc). And you're correct, they were all 'cheap materials', all commonly found in nature.
And if they can come up with an operational Cold Fusion Reactor, it'll be the biggest thing since the invention of the wheel, or man 'taming' fire.
Indeed it would.
In the full interview, there was an interesting exchange between the interviewer and Dr. Storms:
James then asked Dr. Storms what type of press did the Italians get on their demonstration.
Dr. Storms: “The Swedish newspapers, the Italian newspapers, the Greek newspapers, they showed an interest. The American newspapers showed none at all. It’s been on a number of blogs and talked about in a number of chat rooms, but no, it hasn’t reached a level of any serious importance to the American press.”
James: “Why do you think that is now?”
Dr. Storms: “Mainly because, it is institutionally the belief that cold fusion is not real, or if it is real, it’s so trivial, it’d make no difference to anybody. That’s institutional. It’s the myth that’s in, we’ll call it, the intellectual structure of the United States, and a number of other countries.
There a few countries where that’s not true, and Italy is one of them. The government there believes that it’s real, and they’re doing everything they can to develop it. The government in China believes it’s real an they’re doing everything they can to develop it.”
I can’t wait to see the Middle Eastern oil lice bankrupted.
